Westin tube steps - install. problems

I'm in the middle of installing my Westin oval tube steps. The drivers side went on easy - no problems. However when installing the passenger side I noticed that the mounting brackets are identical to the driver side. This presents a problem because it doesn't allow the strap to attach the the bracket.

The mounting bracket should be a "mirror image" of the drivers side, but rather it's an identical match. I'm thinking that the parts kit was assembled incorrectly?!?!

Has anybody else had this problem or just me. Or are your brackets identical - and I'm just not seeing how it fits together?

Thanks
